| Note* | | Sarah Harratt The Harratt family. The name occurs variously spelled. It is undoubtedly preserved as Herod, in the name of Granville Herod Lawson, son of Walter. The St. John's and St. George's Parish records, of Baltimore Co., Md., refer to this family also. Ann Harritt, the wife of Oliver Harritt, died May 14, 1716. Oliver Harrett and Susannah Morrow was (sic) married Oct. 13, 1717. William Cock and Susannah Harriott, married June 18, 1792. And the marriage of John Lawson and Sarah Harratt already given. We have already seen the names of Oliver Hareot and Walter Bosley appearing in the same land transaction; also that Allen Crook's and David Hariott's names are juxtaposed in a compnay roll from Loudoun Co., Va., in 1776. Oliver Harriott is a witness of the will of John Anderson, planter, of Baltimore Co., Md., will probated Mch. 26, 1711. He is probably the one referred to in the sheriff's books of Balimore Co., Md., for the years 1762-3, as follows: "Oliver Harriott's heirs. To Hunting Quarter 50 acres."1 |
| Marriage* | 15 November 1764 | She married John Lawson, son of John Lawson and Francis Davis, on 15 November 1764 at St. John, St. George Parish, Maryland, There is said also to have been another son of John and Sarah Lawson, named John, but if so, he probably predeceased his father. Among the old papers in the possession of Thomas Lawson, of Louisville, Ky., [great grandson], was one, now lost, but remembered as connecting a Capt. John Lawson with a Dulaney. Whether this Capt. John was the one who md Sarah Harratt or his supposed son, is not certain. A receipt for sum paid by John Lawson to A. Lawson, Clerk, is dated 1771. Alexander Lawson of "Baltimore Town" on the Patapsco, advertises in the Md. Gazette, May 27, 1746, in regard to certain lands of Daniel Dulany. John Lawson of Back Neck River, Baltimore Co., is referred to in the Md. Gazette, Oct. 18, 1745. Alexander Lawson of Baltimore made will Sept. 3, 1760, probated Mch, 1761, wherein he mentions wife Dorothy; his mother (not by name); his brother James; sister, Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Robinson; son Alexander; daughters Isabella; Mary, and Rebecca.1
